Dropped on greddy type s coilovers. I plan to go as low as I need to.
Fenders pinched in front and rolled flat in rear. I can pull rears if I need to as well

I'm not too familiar with the greddy coils (check out the stickys in the suspension section and add your coils to the quick review thread)

If you run like -3 and pull the fenders a tiny bit, you'll be fine.

What wheels are these? I'm intrigued by the fact they're 18s...

So you're worried about weight for performance reasons but you're wanting to stretch and run camber?

Flow formed wheels is what up, forged is a thing of the past IMO. Flow formed is stronger, cheaper and easier. In most instances it's actually lighter than forged wheels.

It doesn't hurt to have the lightest wheels possible, so why not? I don't want to stretch too much and would like to run as little camber as possible, which is why I wanted the 9.5's.

They are cast and I would prefer forged, but they don't make them. The 18x9.5's weigh 18.6 lbs, and I think the 10.5's are like 19. Pretty light if you compare them to other forged wheels.

I didn't realize they were stronger. The rpf1's are a replica of the f1 wheels they make.

Then you should probably hold out for the 9.5 or go with higher offset. You're going to have to be low to pull this off...

I agree its cheaper and easier, but thats it. Forged is still top of the food chain and I don't see it changing.

your going to have a good amount of camber with a 10.5 all around and being 18's you will need to be dumped to make it even look good.. fender work front and rear,camber arms and extra money in bank for tires

To be honest, I don't know how low I can go with my K2 front. They do make 19's, but the cost is significantly higher.

Best stance/fitment that we've seen on a static 2nd Gen Sedan that I can recall.
